Chapter 81 [As soon as you hit the Lakers, you will be excited]
The Lakers attacked, and Van Exel took the ball and passed it to Ceballos just after halftime.
After Crazy Fan was dunked by Yang Jian, his self-confidence was obviously hit. He played a mess in the games against the Timberwolves and Jazz, and was mainly responsible for the Lakers' 1-3 record in the beginning. Except for his performance against the Nuggets in the opening game
Excellent, his shooting percentage in a single game has never reached 40% again.
Coach Del Harris did not arrange for Fan to focus on the offense, and he did not have the confidence to take more shots. He just wanted to do a good job in organization.
Ceballos dribbled under the frame and went to the right, unable to get away. Yang Jian stepped inside the three-point line and caught him. He did not try to break through again and passed the ball to Divac who was receiving the ball in the high post.
Divac took the ball in the middle to observe the movement of his teammates. The two defenders were closely followed. Anthony Peeler, who was a guest small forward, took advantage of Campbell's off-ball screen and ran out of the opportunity.
The Lakers' tactics have many similarities with the Sonics. They both have two organizational points on the court. The two big men inside perform pick-and-roll and off-ball screens to help outside players counter-run and make cuts to get shooting opportunities. They were eliminated last season.
After being eliminated, George Karl began to imitate Harris' positional tactics, and the Lakers' are the original ones.
Divac had excellent passing vision due to his height advantage, and saw his teammates passing the ball. Pillar caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. Schrempf was a step too slow to catch up and block the shot, and the ball went in. 0 to 3.
The 26-year-old Pillar only participated in the NBA draft after graduating from college and was selected with the 15th pick in the first round in 1992. He has two skills and is good at catching and shooting. He has scored in double figures for three consecutive seasons with the Lakers. If
It's not that he was seriously injured after just 30 starts in the 1993-94 season, he would have been stronger.
Kemp, like many inside players, doesn't like to defend pick-and-rolls and rarely saves outside players who don't have the ball.
This is a common problem among many teams in the 1990s. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Reggie Miller to produce star data with his physical fitness. Everyone knows that he can shoot accurately, but the inside players still will not defend every time, and let the defenders mainly pursue and defend.
It's like being lowered.
Kemp, who is so fast inside, is unwilling to guard, and the Lakers' twin towers are even less willing to leave the penalty area.
During the SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian ran up the right baseline and got rid of Ceballos under Kemp's ball-free screen. Payton saw the right time to pass the ball, and Yang Jian caught the ball and made an easy hit without interference.
A three-pointer, 3 to 3.
After scoring the goal, Yang Jian shouted, even though he doesn't like mid-range shots, he still wants to add buffs to himself.
Kemp's screen is very powerful. He is a star. If his body moves, the referee will generally not call him a moving screen foul. Not only him, many teams will move the screen, the most obvious one is the Jazz at home.
When the Lakers attacked, Ceballos caught the ball and singled out Yang Jian. He dribbled the ball continuously and then changed direction to the left. He paused slightly when he entered the three-point line. Yang Jian followed and paused, thinking he was going to make an emergency stop jumper.
, but this was a fake move. He broke through with the ball and successfully made a layup from the left. 3 to 5.
Payton is good at using changes in rhythm to excel in this way. Yang Jian struggled to defend during team training. If he didn't pause and chose to retreat, someone with a good sense of the ball would make subsequent changes and could make emergency stop jumpers. He could only try to anticipate it.
Judge your opponent's next move. If you make a mistake, there's nothing you can do about it.
When the Lakers attacked, Yang Jian once again ran out of the three-point line to catch the ball. This time, Ceballos bypassed the screen faster. Yang Jian raised the ball with both hands and feinted. Ceballos reached forward and took a step forward, raising his center of gravity.
Ceballos didn't jump, so raising his center of gravity was just a surprise, because Yang Jian's change of direction was astonishing. He dribbled with his right hand to break through the middle, passed Ceballos in one step, and took another step forward to shoot a high-stop jumper.
The advantage of two points is that it is difficult for inside players to interfere and it is easy to get shooting opportunities, which can be called a weapon to score points. The Lakers' twin towers are standing near the penalty area with their defenders, and Ceballos is also slow to pursue and block shots.
Yang Jian made a mid-range shot, 5-5.
After scoring the goal, he clenched his fists and roared again, he was so fierce!
Aaron Miles said: "Young scored less than 20 points in the previous two games. Today he was in good condition and shot away at the beginning. This is bad news for the Lakers, because Yang is the most accurate player on the Sonics."
players, ranking first in the team in scoring per game.”
Jack Carter smiled and said: "Those who have watched the two teams play will definitely be impressed by Yang's performance. If there is anyone who is most likely to steal the limelight of Magic's comeback today, I think it must be him."
Aaron said: "If the Sonics win today, I can already guess what Young will say."
Jack immediately picked up. "I don't have to respect anyone on the court."
This famous saying that originally belonged to Iverson is easy to remember and creates the image of a young challenger. Yang Jian is very suitable for this kind of persona because he is the only Chinese player in history to play in the NBA and is a representative
Asians challenge black, white-dominated alliance.
His starting point is much lower than that of Iverson, and his story is more eye-catching. Iverson was the No. 1 pick and was widely favored by the media before he entered the league. He has a group of fans. Yang Jian was undrafted, and his strong rise was beyond all expectations.
What people expected.
Ceballos was about to return the ball, and he also relied on the screen to catch the ball and feinted. Yang Jian bypassed the screen without jumping, preventing the breakthrough but not the shot. Ceballos immediately pulled out his hand, and Yang Jian stepped forward to block the eye to interfere, and the ball bounced
Out of the frame, Kemp got the backcourt rebound.
During training in the morning, Yang Jian had already figured out how to defend. As long as Ceballos didn't have a convulsion, his outside shots were basically inaccurate, and his long two-pointers were also unstable. He didn't need to stay as close as possible in every round to leave space for the opponent to take action.
Just interfere.
Moreover, Yang Jian wants to practice defensive breakthroughs and spend time accumulating experience in the regular season, so that he can perform better and more comprehensively on the defensive end in the playoffs.
Now that he doesn't practice, when he enters the playoffs and encounters opponents who can penetrate the frame well, it will be difficult to defend well. He wants to be a superstar who can attack and defend well, rather than a star who always needs his teammates to help wipe his ass on the defensive end.
In the next round, Schrempf made a low-level mistake.
Payton passed the ball, and Schrempf directly knocked the ball out of the sideline when receiving the ball. Piller did not engage in a fierce blocking, it was his own smooth hands.
When the Lakers attacked, Pillar relied on a screen run to receive a pass from Divac and made an emergency jump shot. This time he failed to make a shot from beyond the three-point line, but Ceballos rushed to grab the offensive rebound and made a rebound. 5 points
7.
Ceballos is in good form today, and he also has a way to deal with Yang Jian, or a way to improve his statistics. His shooting touch this season is not good, so if he wants to get good statistics, it is best to hit the basket and be more active in grabbing rebounds.
ball.
Yang Jian has never been very active in fighting for rebounds. When he sees his opponent shooting, his first thought is always to go for a fast break instead of shrinking to the area near the penalty area to grab rebounds. He believes that protecting backcourt rebounds is the job of inside players.
, not a defender.
During the SuperSonics offense, Payton made another mistake. He was playing a pick-and-roll with P.J. Brown, and when P.J. Brown came down the line, he gave a high ball and wanted to make an alley-oop. But after all, P.J. Brown is not Kemp, and he can't just fly at will, and he didn't catch the ball.
The bottom line has been reached.
The Lakers' offense is also a pick-and-roll. Divac catches the ball in the high post and sees PJ Brown standing behind, so he chooses to take a mid-range shot. His jump shot hardly jumps, and the release speed is not very fast. He relies on his height to avoid the defense. PJ Brown steps forward.
Interference, the ball went wide.
Ceballos went to grab the offensive rebound again. Yang Jian looked at the direction of the pop-up eyeball and did not shrink into the penalty area. He gave up his position and prepared for a fast break.
Schrempf grabbed the rebound and passed it to Payton. Payton leaned against Van Exel in the center circle and moved the ball forward with both hands without looking at anyone.
He was full of confidence in Yang Jian's speed and passed the ball to the middle for Yang Jian to chase. Yang Jian sprinted at full speed from the left and caught up with the ball. He took a step in front of the free throw line and jumped up. He bent his bow and tomahawk and smashed the ball into the goal.
!7 to 7.
Aaron shouted: "Here it comes! Payton and Young's wonderful connection, Ceballos missed it. Young performed a split dunk from a long distance. This shot will definitely be selected as one of the top five today."
Jack lamented: "Yang's fast break ability is probably the strongest in the league. As long as he rushes forward, few people can keep up. Today he was in great form and scored 7 points in a row in the opening game. This is really exciting when he beats the Lakers."
